Oculus Reportedly Developing Motion Controllers

Oculus VR is reportedly in development of first-party motion controllers to complement its virtual reality headset.

The company behind the Rift, which was acquired earlier this year by Facebook for $2 billion USD, has begun work on its own handheld motion controller prototypes that would allow developers to create a more immersive experience, CNET reports.

Though the Rift Development Kit 2 serves as a basis for the eventual consumer-facing product, there's still no official word on when the VR headset will come to market.

Oculus recently announced a new developer conference taking place later this year, Oculus Connect, as a way for the virtual reality community to "come together to take the virtual reality to the next level."
